Guns I won't ever own

This is a discussion on Guns I won't ever own within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Glock......Tried them, don't like them.....I think they are over rated... Just my 2 cents...

I thought I wanted an XD, now their on my no no list. I can't warm up to the grip safety. I thought I hated Glocks and now I want one for home defense with a light on it. I personally carry a Shield and love it.

Can't warm-up to the grip safety ??? Curious as to what you think of 1911s...

This is going to sound sacrilegious, but I'm not a 1911 fan myself. I cannot figure out why anyone would want to carry one as a CCW but many do. It just seems like it's begging to snag, between the beavertail, the hammer, and the safeties etc.

Honestly, if you're holding the gun in a way that you are not fully depressing the grip safety, then you aren't holding it properly. There really is zero resistance on the grip safety spring, and once you've got a good firing grip on the pistol it is disengaged.

Guns I will never own, or own again:
Sterling 22 pistol, Zam-a-matic (owned one)
Hi-Point or similar type quality too heavy and just looks fugly
Desert Eagle was waaaay too heavy for me to shoulder carry. (owned one)
Top break revolvers (the "suicide special" ones ove a age gone past)
Not being discriminatory here, just had my fill of certain ones

I will continue to be open to buying Colt 1911's, Glocks, and M&P's, although I already have more than enough of all of these offerings to last the rest of my life. My pistol buying has slowed to a verrry sloooow crawwwwwl.

Don't need any more defense shotguns. Don't need any more M4s. My Ruger Gunsite Scout is a great .308, yet I could be persuaded into another .308 platform of some sort.

Now, let's talk sporting clay shotguns! There are new horizons awaiting me there, for sure! I'm just getting started on those puppies!

“Inequality" is a law of nature, not something government can "re-distribute”. The fit, well-educated, hard-working will prosper. And the unfit will not. It is not the responsibility of those who work hard and prosper to make the lives of those who do not, more “equal."
